I was married for 32 years with X for 35 which felt like a life time.
I`m happy now thankfully.

I’ve been with my husband half that: 36 years. Quite long by today’s standards. If “The Crown” is anything to go by, The Queen and Prince Philip went through a very difficult patch after Charles & Anne were born, but divorce wasn’t an option for them, then. They muscled down & got on with it & lasted another 60 odd years together!

How I envy them and those with long marriages ! Mine lasted only 25 years (divorce) ..

The Queen and Prince Philip were married for 73 years.

I wonder how many marriages last that long.

Have any of you had a long marriage?
